Ok. Though I wonder if we need this variable at all. It is only used with the function is_Cygwin, and seems like a performance optimization so we don't need to perform the check for every call to the function. But since it only is a couple of if statements, I'm not sure if it will make a significant performance difference. > >> set _search_path {} > >> set _shellpath {@@SHELL_PATH@@} > >> > >> @@ -266,26 +294,6 @@ proc is_Windows {} { > >> return 0 > >> } > >> > >> -proc is_Cygwin {} { > >> - global _iscygwin > >> - if {$_iscygwin eq {}} { > >> - if {$::tcl_platform(platform) eq {windows}} { > >> - if {[catch {set p [exec cygpath --windir]} err]} { > >> - set _iscygwin 0 > >> - } else { > >> - set _iscygwin 1 > >> - # Handle MSys2 which is only cygwin when MSYSTEM is MSYS. > >> - if {[info exists ::env(MSYSTEM)] && $::env(MSYSTEM) ne "MSYS"} { > >> - set _iscygwin 0 > >> - } > > > > I'm afraid I don't understand this hunk.

You should send another version of this series with the suggestions implemented. Since you are using GitGitGadget, you can amend the commit, force push it, and then issue another `/submit` command, and GGG will take care of the rest. The GGG welcome message would have all the details as well. -- Regards, Pratyush Yadav
